Top 10 Cartoon Characters Who Deserve Better

Meg Griffin (Family Guy)

Megan "Meg" Griffin is a fictional character from the animated television series Family Guy. She is the teenage daughter of Peter and Lois Griffin and often portrayed as a social outcast. Meg was originally voiced by Rachael MacFarlane in the pilot, then by Lacey Chabert for the first season, and has... read more

Why is it comedy for a 17-18 year old girl to be relentlessly mocked and abused by her own family? There is nothing clever nor charming about a fictional character being tormented for no other reason than to serve the purpose as a punching bag gag. At least recent seasons have been improving on this.

Hey writers of Family Guy, I'm going to give you some advice. Just because Meg is at the butt of your jokes doesn't make them funny.

Meg started the trend of cartoon characters being tortured for no reason. Wow, the writers must be very professional! Not.

Squidward Tentacles (SpongeBob SquarePants)

Squidward Tentacles is a fictional character voiced by actor Rodger Bumpass in the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants.

Squidward has a very abrasive attitude, often wanting to be left alone, and he displays a misanthropic nature. He prefers solitude and enjoys playing the... read more

He can be a jerk sometimes but he still has a good heart, so he doesn't deserve the torture he gets from SpongeBob and Patrick.

Timmy Turner (The Fairly Odd Parents)

Timothy "Timmy" Tiberius Turner is a ten-year-old boy who is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the American animated series The Fairly OddParents, created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. He is known for having fairy godparents who grant his wishes, often leading to comedic and chaotic... read more

I really hate how they've made Timmy a target for abuse in the newer seasons. It used to be just the bad characters that tortured him, but now it's gotten to the point where everybody hates him, even his own parents. I'm not even sure Cosmo and Wanda care about him anymore now that Poof and Chloe have come into the picture. And let's not forget "It's a Wishful Life!"

How come Squidward and Meg get all the attention?

Timmy's a cutie pie.

Lord Starchbottom (The 7D)

Charlie Brown (Peanuts)

Charlie Brown is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Peanuts comic strip created by Charles M. Schulz. The comic ran from 1950 to 2000 and is considered one of the most influential and popular comic strips of all time. Charlie Brown is known for his kind nature, persistent efforts,... read more

Butters Stotch (South Park)

Leopold "Butters" Stotch is a fictional character from the animated television series South Park. He is voiced by series co-creator Matt Stone and is loosely based on co-producer Eric Stough. Butters is known for his naive, cheerful personality and often finds himself in unfortunate or absurd situations... read more

He's so innocent and really rather sweet. Although he can be a bit naive, he really deserves more respect than he gets.

His parents abuse him all the time, and they ground him for nothing!

His parents should be punished!

Edd (Ed Edd n Eddy)

Edd, mostly referred to by his nickname "Double D," is one of the three main characters in the Canadian-American animated television series Ed, Edd n Eddy. He is the most intelligent of the trio and often serves as the voice of reason. Despite being physically weaker than the other Eds, Edd is known... read more

Sure, he can be all high and mighty and needs to be knocked down a peg once in a while, but most of the time he's a nice kid who doesn't deserve what he gets. After all, he's the only one of the Eds whom the kids treat with anything resembling respect.

Lincoln Loud (The Loud House)

Lincoln Loud is the main character in The Loud House, an animated series that premiered on Nickelodeon in 2016. He is the only boy among eleven siblings and often navigates the chaos of his large family through creative problem-solving. The show has been praised for its humor and representation of family... read more

Yes. Definitely. I am so sick of episodes where his family unknowingly abuses him and takes advantage of him. Episodes like "No Such Luck" and "Brawl in the Family" show me that the Loud family would be better off without Lincoln, and that just makes me sad.

He's kind of a jerk. That being said, a little less torture might change that.

He was even tortured in that awful "Save the Date" episode.

Courage (Courage the Cowardly Dog)

Courage is a fictional character and the titular main protagonist of the Cartoon Network animated series Courage the Cowardly Dog. The show originally aired from 1999 to 2002. Courage is a pink dog who often finds himself facing bizarre and supernatural threats to protect his owners.

I always hated Eustace specifically because of the way he treats Courage. Oh well, at least Muriel is nice to him.

Brian Griffin (Family Guy)

Brian H. Griffin, popularly known without his middle initial as Brian Griffin, is a fictional character from the animated television series Family Guy. He is the Griffin family's anthropomorphic pet dog, known for his dry wit, intellectual demeanor, and liberal political views. Brian is voiced by series... read more

Yeah, he does some bad things sometimes, and he's a jerk sometimes, but he's still a good character.

He's more interesting than any of the Griffins (except Stewie and maybe Chris).

The fanbase hates him for stupid reasons. He's just misunderstood.

?

Dumbo (Dumbo)

He was sad from the very beginning, even though he didn't do anything bad. The fact that he turned into an evil monster who terrorizes everybody doesn't change that.

Benson (Regular Show)

Chris (Dan Vs.)

Hector (Dragon Hunters)

While Lian-Chu shows gratitude and appreciation to Hector, Gwizdo treats him like trash for some reason.

Sheldon Plankton (SpongeBob SquarePants)

Jonathan (Rugrats)

Gwizdo (Dragon Hunters)

He's mean to Hector and always uses him as bait, but he also had a rough childhood. He has a big ego but is also very insecure and needs to be appreciated for the work he does.

Foo (Harvey Beaks)

He is so cute. Ray William Johnson? No way!

Frankie Foster (Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends)

She works hard and Herriman doesn't thank her. He just calls her a slacker. God, what a jerk!

Candace Flynn (Phineas and Ferb)
